Microbial Degradation of Synthetic Dyes in Wastewaters

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

Dyes have been used since ages in textile dyeing, paper printing, pulp, plastics, food, cosmetics and tannery industries. The dye molecule comprises of two components: the chromophore (responsible for producing the color) and the auxochrome, which supplements the chromophore and renders its solubility in water and also provides enhanced affinity towards the fibers.
